New Callaway golf clubs for children: check out the XJ and XT sets

Callaway is renewing its portfolio of golf clubs for children and teenagers. With the XJ and XT series, the brand covers the entire spectrum from four-year-old beginners to ambitious youngsters. Callaway relies on technologies that are otherwise familiar from the pros' bag. For 2026, the Carlsbad-based company is launching a completely revamped range of golf club sets for children and youngsters, including golf bags. The goal is clearly defined: To provide children and young people with equipment that is not only "smaller" but also on a par with adult clubs in terms of technology.

Callaway XJ series: golf clubs for children with a "level system"

A common mistake when buying children's clubs is to base them on age rather than height. Callaway addresses this problem with a three-level classification of the XJ series, which ensures that the club length and weight exactly match the level of physical development:

• XJ1 (Level 1): Designed for the youngest golfers (approx. 107 cm to 117 cm). The 4-piece starter set (FW, Iron 7, SW, Putter) is consistently trimmed for lightness.

• XJ2 (Level 2): For players between 119 cm and 135 cm. A Driver and a 9 Iron are added to the set to open up the first tactical possibilities on the course.

• XJ3 (Level 3): The bridge for children from 137 cm to 155 cm. With seven clubs including a Hybrid, this set is designed for young golfers who are already regularly on the course.

Callaway XT series: Performance equipment for juniors

When the XJ series reaches its limits, the Callaway XT set takes over. It is aimed specifically at teenagers who want to develop more power and take their performance to the next level. The XT set is no longer just a "toy": it features a real titanium Driver and high-quality graphite shafts to ensure maximum distance and forgiveness. With a total of 10 clubs (incl. Iron 6-SW and Putter), it offers full "course coverage" so that youngsters have the right club in their bag for every playing situation.

Why quality makes the difference in the youth sector

It makes sense to look away from cheap sets and towards premium brands such as Callaway when buying golf clubs for children. Cheap clubs often suffer from a lack of durability and forgiveness. The quality of large and well-known manufacturers is reliable. Callaway specifically integrates technologies into the new series that increase the "sweet spot". This ensures straighter shots on off-centre hits - a decisive factor in keeping the sport fun in the long term and minimizing the frustration factor.

The new sets are more than just a visual refresh. The use of ultra-light components and graphite clubs actively supports swing speed. Each set also comes with a matching Standbag.
